With me having a SLI rig, there is a lot of heat in my case, now I took the side panel off of my Tsunami Dream case and have a room fan blowing in and it helped my temps a lot. My question is, having the side panel off and having a room fan blowing in, is there any cons to doing this?

Thank you.
 
You'll prbably get a lot of dust, plus theres the chance of electrical shock if you touch anything. But I've heard of lots of people doing this sort of thing without any major problem. You should look into getting a real cooling solution (more fans, wire management, etc..) but I dont think you'll have any major problems.
 
Well I dont have the tools to cut more areas in the window on my side panel. I also have one 120mm fan in front sucking air in and one 120mm fan blowing out and a Thermalright XP-120 on my F-55. On the side panel there is one fan and that is alligned with my CPU fan, there are no options for video card fans on the side panel. SLI gets hot and with the side panel on, my temps on my video cards can hit high 80's, with the side panel off it doesnt even hit 70 celsius, so what should I do?

Thanks in advance!
